that's correct: If it doesn't work you are doing something else wrong.
> <xsl:value-of select="<br/>" />
that isn't XML (can't have < in an attribute value, so the xsl system
will not even have seen it, having been rejected by the parser)
> <xsl:value-of select="'<br/>'" />
ditto
> <xsl:value-of select="'<br/>'" />
That is equivalent to
<xsl:text><br/></xsl:text>
and would produce something that displays as <br/> ratger than a new line.
> <xsl:value-of select="<br/>" />
That is legal XML but is an XSLT syntax error as You can't start an
XPath expression with <
